What are you talking about? Neither O_LARGEFILE nor open64 is in POSIX.
But both are in the LFS extensions.
This whole change seems dubious at best. Who has argued that
O_LARGEFILE mustn't be returned? I do not agree at all. If the test
suite checks this the author must defend the position.
I suggest to not make any changes. It is perfectly OK to define new O_
flags and the open() specification does not require that none of them
must set implicitly.
